  • ​Active university student in Cyber Security, or a related field. 
  • ​understanding of the web applications stack  
  • Understanding of networks and experience in programming

What you’ll get 

  • ​Paid part-time contract 
  • ​Laptop + iPhone  
  • ​Mentoring by senior pentesters
  • After some time, the possibility of sponsored security courses, certifications, and conferences

Hiring steps  

  • ​Mini homework: we’ll send you a small vulnerable app; find what you can and write a short report
  • ​Technical chat (1 hour) with our Team Lead and a future teammate
  • ​Final conversation with Product Owner + HR to set expectations and talk timing
